Italian Citrus 50ml Eau De Parfum
$166.00
This fragrance is a bracing cologne of coastal Italian citrus rinds-chinotto, blood orange, cold-pressed lemon and green mandarin with ambrette seed & clean musk.
There are many variations on cologne. The original Italian, French, German, and Hungarian recipes usually call for citrus (lemon, bergamot, etc.), herbs (lavender, rosemary) and neroli (orange blossom distillate). The scent is instantly recognizable. Most classic colognes are very pleasant. Every day wearing for that out-of-the-shower scent. With varying degrees, they often do not last. Eau de cologne technically refers to the low amount of fragrance oil in the final product. They aren’t traditionally built to last.
D.S. & DURGA's Italian citrus varies the formula in a few ways to create a fresh citrus scent where the citrus actually last into the dry-down. Firstly, the citrus pallet is wide. They use five distinct coastal Italian fruits in a certain proportion to create a bright beginning. There is the most Italian of fruits – Bergamot, lightened with the even fresher, yellow amalfi lemon, the oceanic select red mandarin distillate (with its peculiar clam note), sweet red blood orange, and bitter orange chinotto peel. Instead of the herbs of classic colognes, they use violet ionones to keep the sweet going south. In the base the liquid crystal smell of copaiba balsam, a white resin from South America, blends with incense absolute, and oakmoss. This gives an after thought of citrus. Copaiba for the fresh peppery bergamot, incense for the orange-lemon notes, and oakmoss for the green. Overall Italian Citrus is lush and lasting and the fragrance, like the Italian coast, is carefree and bright.
